Abstract
This study presents for the first time a comprehensive data set of directly measured in-canopy transport times and aerodynamic resistances, chemical timescales, Damköhler numbers, trace gas and micrometeorological measurements for a natural grassland canopy (canopy height = 0.6 m). Special attention is paid to the impact of contrasting meteorological and air chemical conditions on in-canopy transport and chemical flux divergence. Our results show that the grassland canopy is decoupled throughout the day. In the lowermost canopy layer, the measured transport times are fastest during nighttime, which is due to convection during nighttime and a stable stratification during daytime in this layer. The inverse was found in the layers above. During periods of low wind speed and high NOx (NO+NO2) levels, the effect of canopy decoupling on trace gas transport was found to be especially distinct. The aerodynamic resistance in the lowermost canopy layer (0.04–0.2 m) was around 1000 s m−1, which is as high as values determined previously for the lowest metre of an Amazonian rain forest canopy. The aerodynamic resistance representing the bulk canopy was found to be more than 3–4 times higher than in forests. Calculated Damköhler numbers (ratio of transport and chemical timescales) suggest a strong flux divergence for the NO–NO2–O3 triad within the canopy during daytime. During that time, the timescale of NO2 uptake by plants ranged from 90 to 160 s and was the fastest relevant timescale, i.e. faster than the reaction of NO and O3. Thus, our results reveal that grassland canopies of similar structure exhibit a strong potential to retain soil-emitted NO due to oxidation and subsequent uptake of NO2 by plants. Furthermore, photo-chemical O3 production was observed above the canopy, which was attributed to a deviation from the NO–NO2–O3 photostationary state by a surplus of NO2 due to oxidation of NO, by e.g. peroxy radicals. The O3 production was one order of magnitude higher during high NOx than during low NOx periods and resulted in an underestimation of the O3 deposition flux measured with the EC method.
